Franchises operating in the domestic and commercial cleaning sector are reporting steady business, and for their franchisees it is business as usual.

“Far from being seen as a luxury they can manage without, customers value a high quality cleaning service more than ever,” said Pam Bader, chief executive of Molly Maid UK, one of the longest established names in the franchise industry.
“In the current financial climate, people are working longer hours, taking second jobs, or their partners are having to find work, which leaves them even less time for household chores,” she added.

With a track record stretching back more than 25 years, Molly Maid has seen economic downturns before, and their experience in successfully managing tough trading conditions provides additional reassurance for those looking to invest in a franchise in this sector.        

The chances of a franchise being a success are enhanced by the training and support provided by the franchisor and also because franchise owners are following a proven business format.

One of the fastest growing franchises in the commercial cleaning sector is Dublcheck, which has spent more than 16 years setting people up in their own businesses and winning cleaning contracts, and has established a 100-strong franchise network

Founder Carol Stewart-Gill said: Dublcheck is one franchise where you don’t need to be able to sell. You start off knowing exactly what turnover you are buying into, so that you can concentrate on looking after your customers, while we do the sales.”

Once a business has established a stable customer base the Dublcheck team will help the franchise owner progress naturally into sales, usually prompted by referrals from existing customers.
